If the RH outside the tent is lower, increase your airflow, problem solved. As long as it's only for a short time occasionally, you probably won't develop mold but airflow is key for making this statement true. Get a dehumidifier if you can and increase airflow no matter what.

Two options: 1. Top the plant. At week 3-4 it will stop vertical growth, topping should work. 2. Tie the plant over. I would be topping. Good luck and beautiful plant!

Hello. Its been my experience that plants don't do as good if you top them in the flowering stage. That should be done in the veg stage. I wait till week 3 to do any major last pruning and trimming. I like the plant to be fully in the flowering stage before messing around with it too much. If you take any more than a third of the leaves at any point in the grow you have a good change of sending your plant into shock, which takes 3 or more days to recover and start growing again. Good Luck. Chuck.

Disaster the other day fan fell in plant wasn’t a pretty sight managed to pull her back together with ties luckily only leaf damage saved me trying to defoliate fan did a better job. really picked up since Thursday 4 weeks in and I think we might have stopped the stretch.bud sites looking fatter temps been high had to change to 10am to10pm lights on Hottest time because of fan disaster. lost 5 hours. dark used to be during the day easier to control temp.going to try to change light schedule slowly so dark during day again for high temp.and going back to work end of furlough and back to not been available till 18:00.Started 3 months too late?Iv put a few photos of a week after fan attack looking a lot better

Hello. You've done your defoliation at a good time (3 to 4 weeks in to flowering) now leave your plant alone to recover from shock, and get back to flowering for you. In a couple of weeks you can take off a little more. Not too much in week 5 or 6 you don't want the plant to go into shock at that time. Good Luck. Chuck.

I don't subscribe to boosters as they are marketed. Can be good for rounding out a mix, of course. usually something like monopotassium phosphate regardless of label. plants prefer a happy range of concentrations of the various elements in which lockout does not occur. (and relative to an optimal pH and ambient environment in general.) too much P or K and you'll lockout Ca, Mg, Fe, S, et al... lol. it'll be a mess. So, there's no magic bullet here. There;s no magic product that'll impact your plants more than good lighting or increased CO2. the rest is not screwing up, staying out of the way... 5-10% of the total pie. Know your PPMs of what you feed based on guarnateed analysis info before adding anything, unless you are mirroring a successful grow or something akin to that. Even so, read and adjust to plant. You see all sorts of issues crop up after using, assume it's an overdose and back off, try again with lower dosage. don't blindly use products. there are nute calculators online. i have a spreadsheet linked in my GD profile comments. should work for liquid nutrients, but no guarnantees. my nutes are dry and mixed when used. Specific gravity becomes a concern with some labeling values. should be notated in the instructions.

I use it for four weeks, once a week, 6mL per gallon and the results have been amazing. I’m growing in soil so I use pure water in between each feeding. Stuff works great, I use the entire Canna line with great success.

Been a good week flushing took another 200g off her that were done and still left a few oz of small buds on to see if anything happens it has been a good plant and still gives more made some butter with trim for some brownies I will give a final weight once Iv finished still looks big Been back a few days away from her. She is still putting more in to the buds I left on it so much easier to control temp and humidity when it’s not a tree not complaining got loads of bud off her so far 460 wet ended up with just short of 6oz dry happy days will give a final weight once completed thanks for looking
